Boolean

Boolean

Allocates a Boolean object representing the value
true if the string argument is not null
and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true".
Otherwise, allocate a Boolean object representing the
value false. Examples:

booleanValue

valueOf

Returns the boolean value represented by the specified String.
A new Boolean object is constructed. This
Boolean represents the value true if the
string argument is not null and is equal, ignoring
case, to the string "true".

getBoolean

Returns true if and only if the system property
named by the argument exists and is equal to the string
"true". (Beginning with version 1.0.2 of the
JavaTM platform, the test of
this string is case insensitive.) A system property is accessible
through getProperty, a method defined by the
System class.
